R help - Aug 2009 - Canonical Discriminant Function Analysis

Dear R users:
 
Could you please help me out how to use R to get and interpret
Standardized discriminant functions and structure coefficients for sex,
Degree_Program, and Enrol_USM
 
Please find the data file at: 
 
http://www.usm.maine.edu/~aaboueissa/Rhelps/Rhelps.html
 
data files are (xls file: dataforRxls    or   txt file: dataforRtxt)
 
 
 
Output looks like this table.
